commercial property prepaid sub-metering Vrs life safety services.

Does anybody know the rules on sub-metering via prepaid meters feeding commercial customers that have safety services installed. For example if I have a DNO supply coming into commercial building A but from building A it feeds into commercial building B. They are different landlords and building A wants to install a prepaid arrangement as bills are not being paid. Now if building B has a safety service in the form of for evac lifts or smoke vent etc what are the rules on installing a prepaid metering online system. Is it allowed, the system can be toped up online and a direct debiting system can be implemented so it is always topped up. I would presume so as like in a normal building if you don’t pay your bill you’ll get cut off.

  • Yes I understand there is a legal element to this with service agreements etc but building A pays the energy shipper who they’re in contract with and building B pays building A based on an arrears arrangement with building A letting them know what they owe, which appears not to be getting paid. If that makes sense.
